Recommendation – TV Recommendation

I have had an android TV box from this company for over one year and it has been brilliant for all live UK TV and catch up.

I’ve just got to recommend Oscar Pinazo for his diligence and knowledge regarding our electrical system that has for the past 14 or so years continually tripped for no apparent reason especially when we decide to travel for any length of time only to return to a very smelly fridge/freezer. Oscar arrived at our property yesterday and installed a ‘overvoltage protection unit’ and ‘Circutor Automatic reclosing RCCB’ in a very professional manner. Last night we had quite a storm accompanied by thunder and lightning and guess what? No trips!!!!!

Please come and join friends on a 5 day coach excursion starting in the Torre del Mar area. The first day you will travel to Madrid, the capital of Spain, stopping on the way to purchase breakfast and lunch.

You will then join the coach for the drive to the city of Toledo for dinner at the 4* Hotel Eurostars Toledo where you will stay for 2 nights.

iPad problems
I sent the following to 1958Ian on Thursday to the original posting but noted that Paul at Competa reported the same:
Apple reported it as an issue on Tuesday and have corrected the software but to get your machines to work again you need to clear the web history.
Just go to:
‘Settings’
‘Safari’
Click on ‘Clear History and Website Data’

That should sort it although if you’ve saved any automatic log in details for websites it will be lost. Angela

(2)

Also in response to Paul in Competa regarding the iPad/iPhone/Safari Issue, yes this is an update issue which Apple are working on. In the meantime there are a couple of workarounds

On the iPhone/iPad go to Settings and then choose Safari. There you find Safari Suggestions. Just toggle the slider. The Safari Suggestions option on the Mac is under the Safari Preferences under the Search Tab. Just uncheck Include Safari Suggestions. Done

An alternative workaround is to enter private browsing mode. This can be done when opening a new tab in Safari. Browsing in private mode will turn the background of the browser black.

The other option is to download a separate browser application altogether, such as Google’s Chrome. I’m sure Apple won’t be too long with the fix.

Got an email from a Mac user who disputed my statement, “Apple/Macs already are moving in this direction where paid system upgrades come out on a regular basis and old programs quit working if you fall too far behind.” The simple explanation is this. You don’t receive a charge when you update because you already paid for them up-front when you bought your machine. That’s one of the main reasons you pay 2 to 3 times as much for an Apple/Mac over a Windows machine with the equivalent hardware. It’s a marketing concept called “bundling”. As for paid app updates, this is essentially what happens when your favorite app disappears from the Apple Store so there is no update, it just quits working eventually forcing you to buy a new app to do the same function. For a detailed explanation please email me directly to avoid boring the majority of DigamExtra readers. doctorlaptop “@”gmx.com

Services Needed TV Options – Help Please
I have contacted a few of the companies supplying TV via the Internet, and have almost decided on what we need. I know it’s getting boring, but I’d welcome a few recommendations – I want the BBC/ITV channels, plus – if poss – lifetime/living and a few Sky channels and ideally the option of watching anything we may miss in the previous week or so. Think it’s Catch Up?
I realise it’s necessary to pay installation, and probably a monthly subscription.
Those I’ve talked to have one and not the other, but I know they exist!
Thanks in advance! Answers to DigameXtra Please

Services Needed –Storage

I am looking for around 12-15 cubic metres of dry, secure storage space for a few months for some household effects (mainly stackable crates). Has anyone got a spare outbuilding or garage that I can rent and pay them a fair price for? Anywhere along the coast or the vicinity of Sayalonga/Algarrobo would be ideal but anywhere considered.
Many thanks for any replies and suggestions.

What’s on If you are in Malaga tonight

What’s on Nerja Players

Richard Brinsley Butler Sheridan was an Irish playwright and poet and long-term owner of the London Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. He is known for his plays such as The Rivals, The School for Scandal, The Duenna and A Trip to Scarborough. The School for Scandal was first performed in London at Drury Lane Theatre on 8 May 1777 and is considered one of the greatest comedies of manners in English. It deals with upper class rumour-mongering and manufacturing, infidelity and attempted seduction, family loyalties and disloyalties, romance and marital strife, age differences among couples, dissolute youth and pretended virtues and much more. The comedy is timeless and as laugh-producing today as it was in the 18th Century — perhaps even more so.
It has been adapted for a dramatized reading by our artistic director, Marty Margulies, who also plays Sir Peter, and it will be presented on Tuesday, 2nd February at the Nerja Bridge Club (the blue doors set back next to the Café Royale at the top of Avda Castilla Perez) at 6.30 for 7. This performance is open to the general public.

We would also like to remind everybody that we hope to perform Wind in the Willows at the Nerja Cultural Centre later in the year and are still seeking performers and people willing to work behind the scenes.

Our production on 16th February will be “Not Fur Long”, an adaptation from a story by ​Roald Dahl ​ – but more of that later. In the meantime, for further information about these performances or on joining the Players, please check the website – nerjaplayers.com – or have a no obligation chat with the Vice-president, Freda, on 952528868

I felt I’d like to share with your readers something I’ve witnessed over the last few days,

first of all I witnessed my neighbor, an elderly lady struggling to get up and down a few steps down to the road from her house,

then I witnessed a town hall representative come and look at it,

then a couple of council men came and measured up,

then something quite wonderful,

they turned up, cut the steep steps out to make two shallow ones,

and they even put a banister up on the wall adjacent to the steps,

they done a good job of both,

all this so that an elderly lady can be safer as she leaves and returns to her house,

Torrox Pueblo, yes not perfect, a few dog poo’s to look out for as you walk,

but congratulations to the town hall for showing compassion and doing something positive and practical for this elderly lady,

maybe a bunch of flowers??

Warning re Walking Poles

​Do NOT buy cheap walking poles of the telescopic type!!! They may collapse when you need them the most, withdisastrous results! Happened to me once, so I fell face first down on the rocky path! I was fairly lucky, no permanent damage!

Then I got myself a good old fasioned wooden stick, cheap in the Chinese shop (5-6 €)!

Services Available– DoctorLaptop’s News Update –

Windows 10 To Become Paid Subscription Service?
That appears to be Microsoft’s 2017 plan according to Forbes News. Let us hope this plan fails due to user revolt. They want you to pay a subscription to Microsoft simply to use your computer. You will be expected to run only programs and apps you buy from them, and many of these will only be available in cloud-based services requiring you to be online to use them. Add in the recent announcement that new computer chips produced after mid 2017 will not be compatible with versions of Windows from before Windows 10. Those older computers will get the support till Jan. 14, 2020 and Jan. 10, 2023 for versions 7 and 8.1 respectively, when they effectively become obsolete unless upgraded to Win 10, if they Win 10 compatible that is.
Read more at: http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2016/01/27/when-free-windows-10-becomes-expensive-fear-this/?utm_campaign=yahootix&partner=yahootix#28642e9c538d ORhttp://tinyurl.com/glc78z3

Apple/Macs already are moving in this direction where paid system upgrades come out on a regular basis and old programs quit working if you fall too far behind. If you want to avoid this tyranny you will need to embrace the Android-like Linux operating system. There are thousands of versions of Linux, known as Distros. Distros differ in appearance and some are specifically designed to do certain tasks better than others. Distros will be updated to run on the new chips in 2017. Some Distros are designed for beginners, some even to mimic Windows in appearance, while others are for advanced users only. I recommend LXLE Linux for beginners.

In response to Ian ,I am having the same problem, it started yesterday after an update was downloaded, I presume the problem is a fault in the new update and hopefully Apple will sort it out soon. Paul Competa

I missed the recent shocks, we live near to Canillas de Aceituno and perhaps the tremors didn’t affect us. If anyone is interested in keeping up to speed with quakes either locally or worldwide Bill Padley on Talk Radio Europe spoke about an App he uses on his Iphone, LastQuake.So i thought i would give it a try. It’s excellent and It’s free to download from the App Store, easy to use and quite scary to see how frequently quakes are happening.

What’s on – Question – Excercise Club ?

Is there an excersise class in the Torrox costa area or any village close by, late afternoons or in the evenings, preferably not zumba as it is a bit too energetic and my back and my heart wouldnt stand the pace. A bit of dancing would also be ok, line dancing etc… as I am turning into a couch potato with a stomach bigger than a 5 kilo sack!!

A couple of weeks ago they had decent walking poles for sale at Competa´s Saturday market. I don´t know the price, but surely not expensive and probably negotiable!

They can also be found for a few Euros, I am told, at the Chinese bazaar in Competa. May not be best quality, but the person I met who´d bought them used them for the whole of the Walking Festival week at least!

Hope this is helpful!

He’s very sweet with children. If anyone would like to give him a new and loving home or want more information please contact: zajclut at hotmail dot com.

Lovely, Small,Female Dog found in Competa …..

Lady in Competa seeks help as she has taken in a lovely small, sterilised, female dog, “Laica” who she found shivering on a cold night at the top of Competa Pueblo. She already has 8 dogs and a number of cats so she cannot keep her much longer.

Do you recognise her? Could you foster her? or offer her a permanent home? She is small, black and tan, approximately 2 years old, very affectionate and sociable and gets on well with people and other dogs – but not so keen on cats. She is sterilised, parasite free and would make a wonderful companion – she doesn’t need a lot of space. If you would like to meet her or want more information please email Julie at thomson juiiec @gmail.com -no spaces! 0r telephone 638893306

You only left an English telephone number which is very expensive to call from Spain

Or call Amanda 680739577 to arrange a viewing

Please heed her advice – give and email address and a phone number. I don’t wish to be the Go-Between for people. Got more than enough to do folks -Jane

Recommendation – Buddha House Restaurant in Torrox Costa I second Dawn’s recommendation for the recently taken over Buddha House Restaurant in Penoncillo.
I have eaten there three times in the past month bringing friends each time. The various dishes that we have sampled have been truly delicious and authentic for a change. The highlight is the different breads from the Tandoor oven, I love their garlic and keema naan bread. I have tried many Indian restaurants in the vicinity and have not had better Indian food along the coast.
Am looking forward to trying out their new menu once ready!
Suzanneenderlis @ yahoo.com

Recommendation- Kitchen Design

They project managed the complete renovation of our kitchen, including liaising with other companies who were changing the windows and moving the gas boiler.

We have a special little boy here who needs a home. He is being posted again as, unfortunately, the wrong photo appeared last time!

Nelson is a beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer but he cannot see, having received a heavy blow to his head, which has affected both optic nerves and turned him blind.

He is only three years old.

We took him out of the pound because we couldn’t bear to leave him there with the other dogs all jumping on him.

We are fostering him and he is loving, affectionate and very trusting.

In a familiar environment, you would scarcely know he is blind.

He loves his walks (off lead, and with excellent recall), outings in the car and will play with our other dogs and a ball. He is being taught how to be accepting of cats and is great with the other five dogs here, and people.

Nelson would make a wonderful companion and doesn’t need a lot of space.

If you would like more information, please email me at tmsconsultants@hotmail.com or private message me on Facebook (Sarah Taylor-Moore) or ring 951 24 21 78/650 84 23 36.

Thank you.

Friends re-unites – Success

A few days ago there was a post asking if anyone on DigameXtra knew me as an old school friend was coming to Spain and wanted to contact me. I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who called or emailed to tell me. Even though I’d seen the ad. it was very nice to know that so many people took the time and trouble to contact me .

So thanks DigameXtra and Walk Andalucia too for posting this. I’ll be seeing my friend in March for a big catchup! Maggie

Have you seen Harry? Pet Cat Missing

Our neutered tom cat has disappeared. He was last seen at 4.00 am on Sunday but failed to turn up for his breakfast or supper and hasn’t come back today. This is extremely unusual as he never strays very far from us and always comes home at feed times.

He has lived with us for 4-5 years and is slightly nervous around strangers. Unfortunately we don’t have any photos of him.

He is a large, healthy tabby with slightly wiry fur.

We live in the lower Fogarate area of Canillas de Albaida campo. Our numbers are 676536604 or 634339050 or email caroljstarr @ hotmail.com

We are looking for volunteers to become ‘Kennel Angels’ and join the Axarquia Animal Rescue team in doing the very best we can for the animals in our care and help to prepare them for adoption

Our Kennel Angels will regularly visit our dogs in kennels at either Puente don Manuel or Riogordo and become their friend. You’ll exercise and socialise the dog i.e: playing at the kennels, taking on walks, taking to markets, to bars, dog parks etc. The more our dogs are ‘out and about’ then the more chance there is of someone falling in love with them! If you have transport you can also provide a ‘doggie taxi’ for local vet visits.

We will do our best to match you with a dog or two best suited to you in terms of size, strength and needs. Advice and guidance will be on hand for you and we will provide harnesses, leads and toys etc.

As a kennel angel you really will enrich the dogs lives and help us to prepare them for adoption. You will need to be over 18 years of age and have a love of dogs and preferably have some experience of handling dogs. You’ll need a willingness to help to socialise, train and provide lots of love and cuddles to the dogs.

So if you love dogs and have an hour or two a week to spare then please get in contact for more info – we would love to hear from you. Call Diane 691 961 429 or email axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com

The expectation of “Thank you”

I once asked a psychotherapist if I was wrong to feel aggrieved when, for example I had helped a stranger cross a road and they had said nothing of thanks.

And, I asked, “was I wrong to expect something in return?”.

The therapist replied ” who cares as long as the person got over the road” and added ” safely “.

Recommendation – Credit where Credit’s Due

Just want to say a huge thank you to the French guy who sells mobile phone and electronic equipment at Tuesday’s El Trapiche and Friday’s Puento del Manuel markets. I saw a few very negative comments about him during the summer. He has repaired my Nexus tablet at a very reasonable cost. I had taken it to several other repairers who couldn’t help me, and took it to him as a last resort. Hats off to him.

I would recommend Raul of Sun Kitchens who has done a really great job in refitting our kitchen. He speaks perfect English and has an extremely efficient team to carry out the work. His email address is sunkitchenscocinas@gmail.com and his phone number is 653 634633.

Recommendation Needed
The white(?) cemented area around my pool has become discoloured and dirty in places. I have tried all the usual supermarket detergents but none seem to work too well. I know a pressure washer would probably do the trick but it would mean dirty water going into the pool and I do not want to go to the enormous expense of filling the deep and large pool with completely fresh water. Any recommendations as to what I could use please.

Please reply to Carolphil7 at Gmail dot com or Digame if preferred. Many thanks. Carol

Friday,Jan. 29th Awakenings (1990) (US – 121 min.)

From the book by Oliver Sacks, MD. Directed by Penny Marshall –

A new doctor, Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) finds himself with a ward full of patients who have been catatonic for decades with no hope of any cure. He tries a possible chemical cure on one of them, Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro)When Leonard awakes, he is now well into his 50s having gone into a catatonic state at 20 years of age. The film then delights in the new awareness of the patients and then on the reactions of their relatives to the changes in the newly awakened. With: Julie Kavner, John Heard. In English.

Kitty Harri is best known for her bestselling novels (writing as Kitty Sewell). Her two acre Sculpture Garden in Andalucia, Spain, is the culmination of many years of sculpting and planting trees, building walkways and terraces, with a growing ambition to create an Alternative Art Environment. Alongside the 150+ artworks, the gardens are continuously evolving, containing many species of palms, shrubs and trees from around the world.
The gardens straddle a mountain ridge which projects into the Valle Tropical (Tropical Valley). The magnificent views, north to the Almijara and Cazulas mountain ranges, south to the Mediterranean sea and occasionally the Rif mountains of Africa, can be enjoyed from many seating areas in sun and shade.
In addition to Swedish-born Kitty’s own pieces,15 other nations are represented in the Garden by other sculptors.

Please note the e-mail address precautions I employ

The precautions I take with people’s email addresses are as follows……

I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. Jane

My wife and I are from the United States (Boston area) and are living in Torrox Costa this winter. We would like to go for a bike ride now and then on the Promenade but there seems to be no rentals available (during the winter period) that we could find. Is there anyone out there that has one or two bikes (that you are no longer using) that we could occasional borrow for say up to an hour. We could rent them from you if you like.

If so, then email me with your name and phone number and I’ll get back to you. Thanks,

Just Say Thanks!!

I am writing to ask if people who ask for advice on DigameXtra could at least have the decency to acknowledge that advice.I have at least twice given some and not heard a thing back.I am sure there are other people who think the same way.It gets to a point where you think “Why should I bother”

I realise personal recommendation counts for a lot, but a lot of the posts requesting information seem to be for services and items that are widely advertised. Most people who live in Spain speak Spanish, and companies that have English web pages aren’t as common as those that don’t, so if you want something like a wedding venue for example it helps to type what you want in English in to Google translate and the copy the Spanish translation in to the search box. This brings up a lot more pages. They are in Spanish of course, but you can reverse the process by copying and pasting the page or click on the “translate this page” to get something you can understand.
Recommendation does count for a lot, and I do understand the issues liable and slander regarding warning against incompetent or crooked suppliers, but knowing other people’s bad experiences is even more valuable. I could offer valuable experience to anyone thinking of having a wood pellet central heating system fitted for example, but this information needs to be passed on with a personal phone call. Perhaps if anyone feels strongly about bad service they could blog to offer experience on a topic, without naming any supplier. What takes place in a private phone call then has nothing to do with Digamextra.

Services Needed Men’s Hairdresser

Can anyone recommend a good English speaking barber? We were using Heath in Torrox untill he went back to the UK. We’ve tried several since but not found one as good. Replies to digame please as this may be useful to others. Thanks in advance. RH

Of course there are many other days during the year when you should consider treating yourself to the great image boost that a boudoir photography session is ! But St Valentines day is coming soon.
No other major event to look forward to in the calendar except spring and temperatures rising up of course ! So now is as good as ever to indulge in undressing in a warm, safe and cosy environment. But why ?
Because you can ! Whether you are in your twenties, your forties or your sixties, boudoir photography is the best way to help you feel sexy again and realize how hot you are.

You may use the shots you get out of your session as a nice present for your significant other of course but primarily boudoir is about helping you see how good you really look like and how this differs so much from the image you see in your mirror.
Photography is a powerful tool because the choice of light play and the lenses we use can create things unexpected and sublimate you.
Details that your eyes usually linger on far too long in a mirror, such as orange skin or an annoying lump, fade away with a short depth or field or bokeh and suddenly your eyes only catch what is important and what makes you stunning !

Being a fan of curry and having visited nearly all the local Indian restaurants

this is the best thus far.

Please note the e-mail address precautions I employ

The precautions I take with people’s email addresses are as follows……

I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly janekirkspain@gmail,com

if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –

janekirkspain @ gmail,com.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor. Jane

Please Note

The rules for Blogs have changed and it now means that I could face a fine if I publish any negative reviews of any person or company – even though it may be true or half true. Jane

There is a very large white dog loose again this morning on La Mata Competa. It has attacked my neighbour, Frank’s dog whilst he was walking it and now he is rushing his badly injured Alsatian cross down to Caleta in an attempt to save it’s life. This same animal has killed two of my dogs and injured my husband (we are still waiting for the court hearing some 18 months later). We took the proper legal route and that delay has perhaps cost the life of another beloved pet. It is essential that all persons who walk their dogs on La Mata be aware that it is not safe to do so until the authorities take some action to protect both.

I am in possession of all the details of this dog and its owner but resist publishing the same at this time as I still, inexplicably, hope that the Spanish authorities will act on behalf of the residents and remove this animal and ensure it can no longer harm any person or pet.

In the meantime we in this neighbourhood must be aware if the danger and not walk our dogs!

Bogus Gas Men

If you Google ‘Bogus gas men Nerja’ you will get many hits and articles.

The main point is that it is up to you, the house owner, to make the appointment for a gas review. If you haven’t arranged a visit then they should never be calling at your house uninvited.

So if someone turns up without a prior appointment made by you, you should turn them away no matter how insistent they are. In the past, we have just told them we don’t have any gas appliances and have refused them entry. I would not hesitate to threaten to call the police and take their photo if they become abusive.

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #46 –

Easy Way to Stop Win 10 Upgrade Nags

Are you are happy with your current Windows system and want to stop the annoying Win 10 Upgrade nag popups, stealth installation of Win 10 files and eliminate the taskbar notice symbol? Here is a tutorial that is very simple to follow, including a tool to do this. It has pics of each step. This tool, The GWX Control Panel, has never given me any problems and includes an Undo function if you decide later to do the Win 10 Upgrade. http://tinyurl.com/hxpuym6

Once done you will be free of the threatening notices that seem to force you into the unwanted upgrade. You will also prevent the download, or remove all the files Microsoft has already snuck into your computer, to prepare it for the upgrade.

As always, make a new System Restore Point before doing any modifications to your system. Here’s how:

On Win 7: Click Start, right click Computer, click Properties, click System Protection from the menu on the far left, click Create then enter a name for the restore point like “pre Win 10 block”, then click the Create button. Wait till you get a confirmation, then click Close.

On Win 8/8.1: Move the pointer all the way to the lower left corner until you see the Start button display, then right click on the Start button. Click System. Click on the System Protection link in the left pane. If prompted by a permission popup, click Yes. Click on the Create button. Enter a name for the restore point like “pre Win 10 block”.Click Create. Wait till you get a confirmation, then click Close.
Note: In all systems the current date and time are added automatically to the restore point.

This info is not an indication that Win 10 is bad, it is only to help those who don’t want it yet.

Services Wanted–Water Filter Installation

We are hoping that someone in the area (Axarquia) offers installation of water filters. What we are looking for is a system that will filter the water as it comes into the house, in our utility room. This should be a system that will filter all of the water for solids and bacteria. So far all we have found is systems that fit under the kitchen sink and only filter the water there. If anyone knows of a system or someone that installs them, please respond to DigameXtra as others may wish to know.

I am offering a beautiful 2 bed town house renovated in a contemporary/cottage style, nestled at the foot of the mountains in the traditional white washed village of Canillas de Albaida. This house has 2 double bedrooms, 1 with a king size bed, the other with 2 single beds, large modern kitchen with all mod cons, bathroom, large lounge and a double roof terrace with stunning views overlooking the mountains and sea.

This comes at a weekly price of £150 (includes all bills and fresh linen) or it is available cheaper if you would like to stay longer.

There is a garden furniture shop in a street close to Malaga Bus station. Sorry, can’t remember the name. They sell replacement covers and elastic for the sun beds –Tumbonas – frequently used by the beach concessions, however they are not cheap (around €48 each, plus extra for the elastic) I thinks these may be what you are looking for. There is a name plate on the beds and if you Google it you can find more info.

They can be bought on line too, but still expensive.

We opted to go for new cheaper beds
